Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Chronic fatigue syndrome  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: The long-term outlook for patients with CFS varies and is difficult to predict when symptoms first start.
Some patients completely recover after 6 months to a year.
Some patients never feel like they did before they developed CFS. Studies suggest that you are more likely to get better if you receive extensive rehabilitation.
